Love this Cafe. We used to go here all the time when we last lived in Dubai two years ago, back then it was newly open. So happy to find it still thriving now we have returned to Dubai. Its still the best cafe in Dubai. Food excellent, value for money, concept great and it caters well for kids too. Nice to be back Bystro!

A fave of mine - food is excellent, fresh and healthy. Coffee is good and the waiting staff helpful and friendly, even with all the rude impatient diners who demand attention on a packed Friday morning(!)

I love this place. Service has greatly improved over the last two weeks and I think the chefs have finally nailed it ! We were a party of five today all our food was cooked to perfection and came out quickly . So many ( too many ) delicious menu choices. I love the almond cupcino , pumpkin soup,quinoa salad , garden breakfast , and those little vanilla cream filled doughnuts to die for ! Jasmine tea also lovely. 10/10 the staff also very friendly and helpful. If you continue like this and keep standards high you'll always be busy !!

Our first visit to Bystro and we loved it . My son absolutely loved the raspberry cream crepes, he said it was one of the best breakfasts he’d ever had. It was a real treat I have to admit . My hubby and I had the smashed avocado with a side of hash browns . Which were amazing and a nice touch to the smashed avo was the asparagus. The coffee was delicious too. Yum ..keep it up!!!

Went there for an afternoon of meetings and work. Enjoyed some delicious tea and probably one of the best acai bowls ever. Very friendly staff and a great working environment.

After seeing the chicken club sandwich on the table next to me, I am certain I will be back soon for a lunch😍

Such a good foodie spot and great location. The food is always delicious and you can also use the Entertainer vouches on main menu items, this includes the halloumi salad which is definitely our favourite. The portion size is incredible and the flavours go so well together. Very family friendly and good for a quick breakfast or lunch.

I've lived in Dubai for well over a decade & blessed to have access to some amazing cafes & restaurants. Unfortunately Bystro misses the mark. The food was great. We had the tacos & a hot breakfast however it was the lack of follow through from the staff that was a little disappointing. With so many cafes in this city you really need to offer outstanding service to succeed or at least leave your customers feeling like they want to return. Take it or leave it for me.

Ordered the French Toast (adult portion as not on kids menu) and was voted ‘the best in Dubai’. The banana milkshake was also to die for. Bystro is a true neighbourhood cafè with relaxed atmosphere. We haven’t been here in a long time.....but service, quality & vibe are still the same :)

This Cafe is a good one for small bites and coffee. I had good chocolate brownie and some drinks to refresh my self up during my tour.
The prices are not too high as per Dubai standards but if you calculate its little on a high side for a tourist.

Good ambiance and good food for a quick meal.

I visited this place to meet-up with old friends. The ambience of the place is relaxing and cosy. The staff are excellent with handling customer orders and flexible with orders changes. The service was excellent, and the food was great. The coffee was the best thing I had in a while in Dubai. They introduced new sliders (Cubano sliders), I tried them, and I would rate them as average. I think they over-toasted them.
However the place definitely worth a visit for brunch!

I mean saying Bystro is the best is an understatement because finding a place that is so considerate and has amazing food is actually rare! The fresh bread they bake is delicious and not to mention the fact that they have alternative options for dairy! Their breakfast options are awesome and customer service is top notch. Lastly, the dessert is a MUST TRY even if you’re too full after your meal the it is worth to pay Bystro another visit. As a consumer, I really appreciate when a restaurant considers their market and Bystro does that!!

This place makes ordinary days extra ordnary.

The encanting vibe, beautiful latte art, healthy and very yummy food choices. It’s the kind of place where you just wanna stay.

Its where quantity and quality collides. Loved the Korean tacos ❤️ its something new, the first Korean tacos I’ve tried.

Sandwiches and bread are also nice. The one I tried before that was my favourite was Cubano I think 🤔 not really sure it was. It’s kinda a long time ago 🤦‍♀️ but it tasted like it has turkey.

Banana nut smoothie is also amazing, don’t you know bananas have tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, helps you feel relaxed and happier. Good for stressed or broken-hearted humans I guess?

For the coffee It’s usually cafe latte but sometimes it’s flat white depends on the mood.

Service is really nice, it is indeed a happy place to be. No day is perfect, but here you feel alive everyday.

Trust me I know I spend most of my days here. I work here 🤣😜 But then again when it comes to food, places and art I have no bias. I write what I write because it is what it is in my perspective.

(Pictures here is mixed of two outlets the main one is Bystro Al Manara and the other one is Bystro Deli in JLT. They are both Bystro but somehow different but both has its own charm in its own way)

Was at Bystro for lunch after having seen the restaurant on my Instagram explore page. Ambiance was great, busy and the staff were very attentive. Had a BBQ salmon with black rice and sweet potatoes as well as a latte. Salmon was grilled to perfection and the rice was something new for me! Latte was nice too. To finish a sticky toffee pudding with very yummy vanilla ice-cream. Definitely will be coming back here to try more menu items!

We visit Bystro quite often and always have a smile on our faces when we leave at the end of a meal. Personally I love their Garden Breakfast Bowl, filled with goodness from the earth, it is by far the best way to kickstart any day. It is filling, nutritious and oh so satisfying. What I like about it more is the fact that I can order it with a slice of gluten free bread. While waiting for our food it’s always fun to read the quirky quotes they have written all over the walls, the ambience is always chilled and inviting. The staff is always professional, polite and you can be sure to receive good service at Bystro. Well done to the entire team!

Cafe that doesn't dissapoint. Good food, easy parking and great vibe inside. Ordered the Cubano for lunch, was good nicely toasted with sweet potato fries.. but not as good as their previous Cuban sandwich with meat. My guests had salads, tasted very fresh, and prob a good option for me next time.

Would of been 5/5 had they not changed their Cuban sandwich.

We went to The Bystro today. I had breakfast and my friend had the burger. Service was great. We asked for several items and received them on a timely manner. The total bill was AED 158 which was great for what we got. We will go there again and try other items on their menu. Nice find.

The Huevos Rancheros is honestly their best item on the breakfast menu. It should totally be a staple on the menu.

The vibe can be intense on the weekends, but the service doesn’t lack regardless of the amount of people and children here. Which is great.

Most of the food is honestly very good and I can’t say I have had a bad meal here.

Where they lose a star for me is the coffee. It’s not the prep that lets it down, but the very roasty and burnt nature of the beans. The milk is always on point.

A firm favourite and I will be back.

Bystro was a convenient way to escape the heat during Ramadhan, as they were opened.
Simple and effective, with a nice parking area close by, attentive, fast service, and a very nice central display for all bakery and cake items. Coffee was nice, cakes were home made and delicious, I ordered a classic eggs Benedict, I did find some asparagus on it, and in other venues I remember finding spinach, but in any case it was on the spot, and well done. The carrot cake home made was another job well done. I have been several times at this venue, and that is why the high rating on the first visit, they are consistent, and predictable.

I recently visited Bystro with my kids and was very happy I did, as its super child friendly. You enter into a cavernous industrial style room that is well lit, inviting and very colorful. There is a great play area in the corner for kids which makes it an ideal solution for families with infants. The service was friendly and prompt, bringing in the high chair, color pencils etc

We ordered the Bystro burger and the BBQ brisket roll with fries along with some Basil infused water.
I felt the burger and brisket roll to have a similar taste (strange!) but the flavours were good. What put me off was the excessive use of salt on the fries! I had to wipe the salt off to share with my children, otherwise I think its not a feasible option

Breakfast options seem nice too. So for a laidback meal with small children (who can run around, bring toys to the table), this is a great choice

And when we thought there’s nothing left to explore; along came Mleiha!

It is fascinating to find archaeological remains in a desert, where the unsullied sand stand the test of time with silence and submission, where the horizon is the flat lay of sand dunes, static rocks, unflinching succulent plants and the resilient Ghaff trees. The opportunity of finding the ancient civilization buried under the sand is an inimitable divergence of the reality from the myth that extorts human curiosity leading to the spread of humanity from Africa across the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf region, and onward to populate the world through Iran, India, Europe and Asia.

A great little place to go out for a mid- week girlie catch up! I ordered the fish tacos which were a great size and tasted really fresh and were filling served with fries.
The dessert list looked amazing but unfortunately I didnt have enough room (definitely one for next time!) I ended up having a wagon wheel, it was pretty decent but quite heavy after a meal, probably would have been great with an afternoon cuppa tea!

The whole menu at Bystro looks great, will definitely go back and try more!

Very cute little bystro which is not easy to find at first. We discovered this place last year and fell in love. Lots of healthy delicious options and portions are quite generous as well.
My all time favorite is haloumi salad.
And a great plus is a small kids corner. I can finally eat in piece while my son enjoys the play area.
Highly recommended.

Bystro is a charming restaurant with a relaxed yet bustling atmosphere. The decor is rustic with a modern twist, and pleasant to be in.

The brunch menu had a variety of options from baked goods to healthy concoctions, smoothies juices and the not so healthy but seemingly delicious sweet breakfast plates.

We immediately ordered an almond milk decaf latte (7/10) a blueberry smoothie (6.5/10) and a grapefruit & ginger health hot shot with apple cider vinegar to kick start the day (8/10).

Although we wished to try many of what was on offer we opted for the same breakfast, 3 eggs any style, one scrambled on rye with avocado and sweet potato (7/10)and one fried on gluten free bread with chicken sausage (excellent and perfectly crisp) with sweet potato (6.5/10). These two were quite boring, and lacked some greens or other accompaniments to add texture and a more interesting flavor.

We also ordered a side of asparagus (8/10) and hash browns (8.5/10).

The chicken sausages and hash browns did it for me, they were excellent though I was left a little underwhelmed by the whole experience and I could not help but wish that I had tried something else which I will definitely come back to fulfil!

The service was efficient and friendly although our waiter advised me that the sweet potato was simply a small "garnish" when I tried to replace it before ordering. In reality it was a large part of the dish. He made no effort to remedy this and walked off instead. A little training needed here.

Overall I would recommend coming here for a Friday breakfast with friends for a relaxed and lazy start to the day. Good vibes.

We‘ve been there with our kid. It was very packed on a weekend day. Service was very nice and fast. Our food we ordered was good. The only thing is that the kids area could be better. I didn‘t feel that my son in his age of 2 can play there safely with all the cushions on the floor he could fall with his face to the window or wall. And the toys are cheap and some broken. For sure I am not going to a restaurant to have a fancy playarea but if there is one it should be threatened more carefully as kids are taking everything in mouth.

One of our favorite place for breakfast in Dubai! Our favorite is the brisket paired with Colombian coffee. They are one of the few places here that serve really good quality coffee! The staff are always friendly and helpful but it can really be busy during weekends so make sure when you order you mention everything you need otherwise hot milk or extra sugar can take a while to get to your table. Their chocolate (barks) are also yummy!

To be honest this place is a little hit and miss for me.

The last time I went it was great - I ordered the Bircher muesli and it was delicious and filling. Also their macchiato was fantastic - a really good tasting coffee which thoughtfully comes paired with shot of water to cleanse your tastebuds after. So that was all good, though getting the bill was a little slow as it was very busy for weekend breakfast.

My husband loves this place though. He adores the Garden Breakfast Bowl - a huge serve of eggs, sweet potato, haloumi, felafel, quinoa, kale, and rye toast. No wonder he loves this place!

The previous two times we've come here though I've been disappointed with my food. The first time I ordered the smashed avocado - it had waaaay too much feta for my liking. You could hardly taste the avocado at all, which is what I ordered it for. The next time I ordered Turkish eggs. I expected this to be like shakshouka, which it is not, so that's my fault. But what I got was not nice - again the main item (this time eggs) was so swamped by other flavours (so much yoghurt!!) that you couldn't enjoy it. And for a dish that's mostly yoghurt sauce, it did not come with anywhere near enough bread.

After those two negative experiences I was sure I would not be back. But as hubby loves it so much, return we did, and I had much more success with their more sweet dishes rather than savoury. So that's my tip - avoid the feta dishes and go dessert for breakfast when at Bystro.

I came here for Friday dinner with the family and we ordered the Rueben sandwich, Malay chicken, Parmesan chicken and spaghetti bolognese. They were all very large portions and made with love and attention. Everything was delicious. We also ordered a halloumi salad starter which was very unique and satisfying. For desert we ordered the red velvet cookie sandwich (kids choice😉) which was nice because the cookies were thick and chewy and the vanilla bean ice cream was homemade.

The ambiance is cozy and relaxed and the service is average, nothing special. It’s also kid friendly since there are some toys in the corner to play with and coloring pages with crayons to keep the hungry kids busy. I love this place and can’t wait to come again to try other options on the menu.

I recently tried their breakfast and had the brisket hash and wow, wow, wow. This place deserves its status under great breakfasts category. I wish I could have their breakfast every morning!

A pleasant ambience and a well-spaced modern layout give a good first impression. It is an interesting and fresh layout.  I had the Breakfast Curry (Breakfast is all-day despite that not being made clear on the menu) that was very good but a little on the small side – and I am not a big eater. The other meals ordered were: Huevos Rancheros: “5/5 for Dubai but not as good as the real thing – the re-fried beans just aren’t as good as what you get in Mexico”; Thai Beef Salad: “Not impressed, completely bland and the beef is mostly fat”; Summer Veg Minestrone: “If only this soup was as good as the bowl it comes in – tasteless”; Superfood Superbowl: “3.5/5 as the chicken is tasteless and the sauce lacks punch – maybe a little Dijon Mustard in there would improve things”; Bystro Burger: “Very good  - super tasty, a little let down by the bun being overly soggy”. Everyone agreed the drinks (Lemon Ice Tea, Pineapple Juice, Cashew Smoothie and Blueberry Smoothie) were very good. One commented that Dhs 8 for a small local water is “over the top”. I am told the Bystro Brisket Hash and the Acai Bowl are both “Excellent” by previous visitors. The staff are super-attentive but not in your face. You only need to look up and glance around for someone to come over and assist. And they will accommodate whatever you need. This level of training is rare in Dubai. Our lunch table of 5 came to Dhs 446 with a drink for each of the five of us.

We were looking for a breakfast past noon time (I know! But one of those days). Ended up at Bystro as the restaurant we wanted to go to nearby refused breakfast as we were late by 5 minutes to their cut off time.
Anyways Bystro has a nice feel and ambience. The menu looked nice and varied catering to all tastes.
We ordered Spanish breakfast and Eggs Benedicts. All in all it was good but both dishes lacked seasoning. Also we had preferred medium poached eggs for Benedicts but came our runny and it seems the there was some water hiding too.
Now my pet peeve is not having bread and butter for the breakfasts on the table . Don't get it really.

Ambience: ohh so bustling, it only dawned upon me quite late that the skeletal population who choose to remain in Dubai during the summer must go somewhere for weekend lunches even if the temperatures are soaring..Anyways it seemed like a lot of folks including the monsieur and me had descended upon Bystro today.

What we ordered: Superfood Super Bowl, Roast Salmon and Malay curry, Ginger brew

Price: Aed 170 with hsbc entertainer voucher

Verdict: pleasantly surprised by the business of the restaurant on a hot summer afternoon.. families, friends seemed to linger long after they were done with their meal,
The waiters were efficient taking the orders and bringing our ginger brew promptly. Hot, sweet and iced just what we needed after the sauna like walk to the restaurant.. the description of the brew was that it was a grandma's recipe with a lot less sugar .. I am afraid it has to be a lot less if you are talking about my grandma:)

Superfoods Super Bowl salad was a good portion, with all the good foods including purple cabbage, carrots, kale, guacamole, chickpeas, pomegranate, mushrooms, oranges and sprouts!! Was refreshing and I recommend this to all my nutritious food loving friends..between my husband and I we mopped the dish clean!

The roast salmon with bokchoi and wild rice was cooked to perfection, the sweet soy sauce and the flaky pink steaming hot salmon was just great!! My husband relished every bite.

My Malay chicken curry with the spiced steamed rice and an oriental salad was also fab! The coconut curry was rich and creamy. The chicken pieces could have been a lot more daintily sized. The accompaniment of the rice was absolutely cooked to perfection. Subtly spiced, steaming hot, just nicely salted. I would eat the rice by itself.

Overall,food was fantastic. Felt exactly like a Neighbourhood bistro serving home food without pretentious presentations!


There was a minor confusion over billing when the price of the salad -aed 50 ish was deducted rather than a main course aed 65 with the entertainer voucher.. but that was quickly rectified upon request.

Apparently in Bystro the vouchers are valid for all salads, sandwiches even though it mentions main course on the voucher!!

Lesson learnt- always check first!


Would I return?? When I crave good food and a chilled atmosphere.. absolutely!

We wanted to avoid malls and ended up at Bystro. Hidden gem on SZR. The menu is straight to the point and simple bit covers almost everyone's taste. Uses fresh and quality ingredients which resulted in tasty dishes from starters to mains. I'm bit picky when it comes to espresso and they ticketed the box. Service team are friendly well done guys keep it up will be back for sure.

Went here for the first time, and just for a cheeky cold brew and wi-fi really, wish I'd gone earlier though. This cafe's breakfast menu looked really appetising and I LOVED the decor & vibe.

I had the Colombian single origin, and loved it. xx

I cannot recommend Bystro enough. The food is great value, especially if you are using an entertainer voucher or taking advantage of the Kids eat for free promotion in the evenings. I spend several mornings a month here, either working or having a meetings. The waiters and waitresses are lovely and always welcoming👏.

On my last visit I took my husband and daughter. My daughter loved the kids play area and also her sausage and mash. I had a delicious slow cooked lamb dish which is the best thing I've eaten in a long time. The only negative - that this restaurant is not closer to my home. Please open another one!

We’ve visited Bystro a number of times for breakfast and it’s safe to say that it’s one of our favourite weekend brekkie spots.
Our verdict: Definitely pay them a visit if you haven’t already. Their dishes are delicious. It’s also a great option if you can’t decide on where to go for breakfast.

We Ordered:
Huevos Rancheros: Re-fried beans, roasted rancheros sauce, corn and black bean relish, queso blanco, fried eggs over a grilled tortilla. Filling and delicious. This dish is definitely our favourite. Great balance of flavours with this popular Mexican breakfast dish.
Turkish eggs: Whipped eggplant, yoghurt and feta with poached eggs, chilli butter with sourdough bread on the side. Another great option for breakfast. We wouldn’t have minded some extra spice to it though.
Golden Latte: Almond milk, turmeric powder, ginger, cinnamon powder and coconut oil. This was a surprisingly delicious drink. Very different to the usual warm drinks we would normally order, but we thought we’d give it a try. Best part is that it’s vegan!
Tuscan Latte: A cafe latte with chocolate swirls around the cup. A delicious cup of coffee with a nice chocolate finish. 
Almond Croissant: We love our almond croissants! And this was definitely one of the best we’ve tried. The pastry was flakey and had that great crunch but softness in the inside layers. The almond paste had a nice texture and flavour and they're not stingy with the amount used. 
The Venue: Great cosy, open space with a glass display in the middle showcasing their baked goods and homemade chocolate. A chalkboard on the wall at the other side of the space, with well drawn out food specials and foodie sayings. 
The Service:
The service at Bystro has always been consistently good. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. 
 
How to Get there:
Bystro is located in Al Manara on Sheikh Zayed road. Take exit 43 (when heading South - direction of Abu Dhabi) followed by a right-hand u-turn and keep going straight. Bystro will be on the left just after the Canon office and before Dennys and Berlin Bistro. If you are heading north, take a u-turn at Exit 42. So that you are heading south on Sheikh Zayed Road and follow the steps above. Unfortunately this location is not a metro friendly option. You could take a metro to either Noor Bank or First Gulf Bank stations on the red line and then a taxi to the restaurant. The venue is in the middle of these two stations. Heading south, Noor Bank is closer.

Cafes are slowly picking up in Dubai with phenomenal food and drinks. Not only this place has a delicious menu but the whole interior concept is quite English to me. Chalk walls, sit down sofas , minimum lighting and chick decor.
We just paused for a bit at this place for some quick bites on a weekend.
Ordered
Beetroot Hummus ( being a hummus fan I loved every morsel with crisp pita bread. Also the colors platter held was awestruck)
Falafel ( good quantity, very moist from inside and was served warm)
Apart from this we had Mango smoothie ( utterly refreshing with no foreign flavors) and cold coffee ( simply wonderful).
All in all, very impressed and happy with the experience. Can't wait to try their main course. Good luck team!

Teasing the tastebuds of a breakfast lover – Bystro – the friendly neighborhood eatery

Sometimes all it takes to find something special is to venture out of your comfort zone. So that’s what we did on a very bright Saturday morning and went all the way from Downtown to the Sheikh Zayed strip to explore some of the friendly neighbourhood restaurants in the Manara area. Along the same line and Jones the Grocer and Denny’s sits this amazing little restaurant , Bystro.

Ambiance and Décor 
Some spaces are such that you make an instant connection with them. The moment I saw the beautiful chalk wall across Bystro I know there would be one. Yes I am a chalk wall fanatic but let that not be the only criteria by which I write this very happy review of Bystro. It was just one of those family friendly , relaxed and welcoming restaurants which was buzzing with great vibes. Plain and simple wooden décor with comfortable chairs is very important to enjoy a good meal, wouldn’t you agree?

You can easily perceive the Australian touch in this lovely cafe! Amazing breakfast at Bystro with great selection of homemade chocolate selection! Their breakfast bowls are amazing with poached eggs, halloumi , quinoa and other! Juices are also very good and selection of tea is great. Decor is coZy and service is outstanding. Location is a bit tricky because is on SZR service road but it s definetly worth to go on weekends!

Bystro is one of my favorite places in Dubai. I go there often for a nice weekend brunch with friends and I am never disappointed. The whole restaurant has a very relaxed and comfortable vibe with its fun and quirky design elements. They even have a huge chalkboard wall with lots of fun little quotes/sayings on it and they update it when they have new items to showcase.

The staff are very kind and welcoming and the food is always delicious. Their french toast, avocado on toast, hash browns, Eggs Benedict, cappuccino, lemon iced tea, and chicken chorizo are always a sure choice (I always stare at their menu for ages because it is so full of yummy options and it makes it very difficult to choose!). 

There is plenty of parking out front and they gladly welcome families with people big and small. I highly recommend this little haven to anyone looking for a happy start to their day.

Another hipster joint full of superfood food, well since I'm on a health kick, I decided to have brunch with my friends on Friday at around noon, we were 5 ladies, I ordered the blueberry smoothie, it was so delicious! everything else on the breakfast menu contained eggs, runny eggs to be exact and since I'm expecting I didn't think it was safe so I was satisfied with my smoothie only. my friends ordered their dishes which took forever! one complaint was the glasses had a weird smell and we asked to change them.  my friend ordered the acai bowl which came hot, and when asked the manager he said the cup was hot and they had 5 or 6 of them only? that's not acceptable, I will come back for sure when I give birth to try their eggs. the food was good but service was really bad. price is on high side because of the "superfood organic" items but 28 AED for a smoothie??!! all in all recommended but come on a weekday

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch places - the staff is always welcoming at the door. The venue is well lit & decorated, has a nice vibe to it. I adore how they display their pastries & chocolates in the center of the restaurant. 

I always go back for this dish --> Turkish eggs (seriously phenomenal!!!!)

It's also a great place to get work done, wifi always works well & it's not too loud so I can focus but at the same time has a nice vibe of people coming in throughout the day.

Parking is also generally easy which makes my life easier.
